Norwich City are helping police with their investigations after a Leeds United supporter was attacked with a knife shortly after their Championship play-off semi-final first leg at Carrow Road.

The fan was understood to have been slashed in the neck area behind the Barclay Stand with claims he'd confronted a group who were taunting the travelling section about two Leeds supporters killed before a European game against Galatasaray 24 years ago.


Two people were arrested following the incident, with Norwich assisting police and studying CCTV and other footage to try identify the culprits.

"While asking the lads why it was said my dad was slashed in the neck with a blade and hit by a full can.

"If anyone knows anything please speak up."

Leeds often face sick chants about two fans who were stabbed to death in Istanbul in 2000 before the club's clash with Galatasaray.

Norwich City confirmed two people have been arrested over the alleged attack and said the club is now helping cops with the case.

Not a Leeds fan by far, but that is disgusting==what coward would do that and surprisingly a Norwich fan, well I won't call him that a scumbag coward. Regardless of dislike for other clubs, chanting about other fans who have been killed is disgusting.

Using a knife with intent should be an automatic life sentence

100’s agree

I detest knife carriers and carrying one should be a prison sentence.

Totally agree

Cowards.

Bloody cowards, throw away the key - having one on your person should be enough to throw away the key let alone using it with intent.

Cowards and scumbags, pure and simple. Odd too that little old Norwich and Ipswich have played up of late?

Carrying should be an immediate custodial sentence even with no previous. I forget where but a US city or state did this and knife crime dropped immediately. It's a growing problem and it needs to be addressed.

The fact he got a knife into a stadium is also a concern.

Scumbag. Hope he’s caught soon.
Norwich is probably the last fan base I’d think of for something like this.

Now being reported as ‘an object’ being thrown and hitting someone on the chin.

There was no knife involved, it was a can. Media got it all wrong.
